Nintendo Game Boy Video Game Console Supersize Screen
H/t: Gizmodo
Always wanted a supersized Nintendo Game Boy without having to actually connect one of the consoles to a TV? Well, one gamer managed to come up with an unconventional solution that involves sacrificing nine other Game Boy consoles, or at least their screens.

Read more for a video of the modification and additional information.



The ESP32 wireless module turned out to not be powerful enough, so a Raspberry Pi mini computer was employed to stream game footage to another Game Boy Pocket. Since the Raspberry Pi is far more powerful than a simple ESP32 wireless module, it was then used to stream to nine other Game Boy Pocket consoles, creating the supersized gaming experience you’ve always dreamed of.
